Who did you shoot and under what circumstances? You brought it up. I'd like to read about the details of it. I'm sure you would. Like I said: Merry Christmas. And Semper Fi (Edit: I did NOT bring it up. You were making an assertion that anyone who wouldn't answer a stupid, inflammatory question wouldn't ever take a life. It's a stupid question then, it still is, and the only way to be dumber than the person who asked it is to actually answer it) I see that you have been reduced to name calling. Easier than answering a question isn't it? LMAO!

Anybody can write something like that. If you are saying you killed as a Marine, that has no bearing on what is being talked about. What the h*ll does that have to do with whether or not you would kill federal agents that were executing a search warrant in your home to remove your illegal firearms if you had some. I stated that I WOULD NOT and that was when some of the people on this board started talk about me being a "slave" and that I didn't have the guts to stand up for my second amendment rights. That tells me that they would kill in those circumstances but they didn't have the guts to say so when I point blank asked the question. If you can't understand that then I feel sorry for you. I think that you need to go back to where I first chimed in on this thread and follow it closly. If the people are going to come after me because I won't support killing to save my freaking AR or AK then I can only assume that they do support that level of violence for keeping those firearms. If you don't agree with me then logic dictates that you do in fact support the killing of the police who enforce the law. End of story.

I will never regret killing the agents of government who come looking for our guns. You ain't doing schit...... I would bet London to a brick on that....and TRH talks the same sort of infantile [bleep]. ps, do the smart thing and bury what you need for another day.....for Justin...case.
These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

Just what I thought. All BS. We sure proved one thing today. All the bluster is just that. Pure crap. Funny chit. Going to watch football now. Goodnight tough guys. LOL! I can say one thing for certain......your an azzhole. Gee, I don't know if I'll be able to sleep tonight. A liberal from MN with a handle of "fluffy". Sounds like another internet tough guy. How about you fluffy, you going to kill Federal agents if they come for your illegal guns? If you guys are afraid to answer this question out of fear, you sure aren't going to shoot anyone. Good job Seahawks. Great game. first of all,just because I live in Mn doesnt mean Im a liberal. second of all,I dont have any "illegal" guns. it wasnt that great a game,it was a trouncing.

nothing wrong, lets you know who to deal with after the waves subside. If your local gas station jacked up gas to $10 a gallon after a natural disater would you find yourself stopping there in the future? I can guarantee that if that specific thing you wrote ever were to happen here, there's gonna' be a fire. Guarantee it. People gouging for certain things don't bug me. People selling Red Sox hats for stupid money after the WS wins type thing, for example, no problem with it. If you're desperate or dumb enough to pay $300 for an ordinary hat, so be it. Capitalism of that sort I have no problem with. Selling bottles of water and those kinds of essential goods to people who are in distress/physical need for it is a different story entirely. Gouging on Pmags is simply excessive greed in action. To me there's a point where it goes from reasonable profit to just plain greed. I'd feed my AR one at a time before I'd support their greed. KG is correct and I saw that type of gouging in action years ago following a bad tornado. The entire Texas town was without power and water and only a couple of small stores were still conducting any sort of business. One was a 7-11 that I went to with a friends 70 yr old father. He was buying 2 D-cell batts for a flashlight. The kid at the counter told him a price that was about 100 times normal. The old man pulled out his wallet and a 44mag at the same time. Told the kid, "I'll pay the price as marked on the package or I can just take 'em. Your choice." Ya gotta love the old guys who take no crap.

Selling bottles of water and those kinds of essential goods to people who are in distress/physical need for it is a different story entirely. And you're missing a significant part of that story. If the market price for water is unusually high, that means that water is unusually scarce. If you force somebody to sell out all his water at usual prices to the first comers because your humanitarian ideals urge you to use force to make sure that people can have guaranteed access to necessities, then where are your humanitarian ideals after the water's all gone and people who need that water far more than the first comers did have to go entirely without it? Where's their guaranteed access? There's no such thing as a free lunch. Access--to necessities or anything else--cannot be guaranteed. If water's scarce, then water's scarce, and you can't make it any less scarce by holding the price down. In fact, you'll make it significantly more scarce by doing so, because if the price is high, the increased profit will attract unusual distribution efforts from places where the price is still low, and somebody can make money on the difference by transporting it. Furthermore, he who jumps into that market soonest will make the most money, so it'll happen fast--much faster than any government can move. High prices in places of scarcity are the fuel that drives the mechanism that eliminates the scarcity. Coerce that fuel out of existence, the way the Soviets did, and you're stuck with the scarcity, the way the Soviets were. High prices also encourage conservation. If a flat of bottled water costs $40 instead of $4, you're going to do some thinking about how badly you really need it before you buy it, rather than just picking it up as an afterthought. If you decide you don't actually need it as badly as you need certain other things, then maybe it'll still be around when somebody who does have a $40 need for a flat of bottled water comes by. None of this has a single particle to do with greed. (The word "greed" in a political argument--especially among people who are anti-socialist--is a signal that somebody has been infected with a bit of socialist class envy that he needs to work on.) It has to do with making sure scarce life-or-death resources get distributed as well as possible as quickly as possible. The free market has always been much better at that any any iron-fisted State spouting humanitarian lies.

I'd not shoot anyone serving a search warrant on my home. But I'd sure nuff have smoked some dude trying to rob me at gunpoint.

Nobody gets a pass from me because he's got a uniform and a badge; if he's initiating force against me, it makes no moral difference whether he's got State backing or not. It makes some practical difference, of course, because thugs from the State have a whole lot more guns and goons backing them up than private thugs do. But criminals are criminals no matter what they wear. It goes the other way, too. Protectors are protectors no matter what they wear, and as long as they're protecting good people trying to do good things, they're welcome in my house whether they've got a piece of paper or not.

I am thinking about putting a AR up for sale due to the current pricing and then putting the money into upgrading some of my bolt rifles. The money would be helping support a small gunsmith shop. I don't consider it price gouging in a free market. People have the right to choose and it is not in the wake of a natural disaster.
I will still have a couple of mini-14's around and I will be keeping my mags. I expect to buy a couple of AR's once things settle down.

In the scenario given, the old man was the one pulling a gun over two batteries. I'd have shot him because he pulled a ".44 magnum" on me. It's a pretty simple distinction to make. How would you react if it was your kid working the counter and somebody pulled a gun on them because they didn't like the prices? It'd take me just a quick minute to track that guy down and set his house on fire. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Unless that someone trying to rob you at gunpoint has a badge, I gather.

What's really going to be funny is when the government takes away all these AR's, AK's, and all those high capacity magazines that we all thought we just had to have. I'll bet there are going to be a whole lot of people glad they didn't waste their money on the soon to be banned weaponry, no matter what they would have paid for it. I see the democrap underground troll is back....................

Bluedreaux......what if the old man had been your dad, and he needed those batteries for his flashlight so he could see enough to dig one of your dearest loved ones out from underneath a destroyed house (who incidentally was being crushed by a heavy beam) and was in obvious danger of losing both legs and maybe their life too?
The old man pulled out his wallet too! He needed nothing else...just the two batteries...in the wake of a bad tornado. Killing someone over two batteries is highly illogical.
